Music & Lyrics by Michele McGovern

Album: In His Hands (2005)

Verse 1:
This is my prayer, this is my plea
Lord help me not to find my rest in mediocrity
‘Cause I want more, than what I’ve settled for
Make me hungry for the fullness of the plans you have in store

You said that in your name we’d heal the sick and raise the dead
But so often we allow the fear of man to rule instead
You have torn down the curtain, why do we stop at the door
Lord show me how to lay aside my will and live in yours

Chorus:
I will be the one that you use to heal this dry and thirsty land
I will be the one that you choose, to fulfill your glorious plans
Give me the boldness to pray, and to believe that you will hear
I just want to live my life for you
I just want to live my life for you

Verse 2:
This is my prayer, this is my plea
Lord help me not to find my rest in mediocrity
‘Cause I want more, than what I’ve settled for
Make me hungry for the fullness of the plans you have in store

You’ve given me the pow’r to say to this mountain, be removed
But I find my faith is far too small to ask that much from you
Lord forgive my inhibitions, help me step boldly to your throne
Cause it’s not by power, nor by might, but by your grace alone
